The Poison Garden of Alnwick

Inside the beautiful Alnwick Garden, behind a locked gate, there’s the Poison Garden: it contains only poisonous plants. Trevor Jones, head gardener, was kind enough to give a guided tour!

(And yes, it’s pronounced “Annick”.)

My word, there are a lot of pro-marijuana people in the comments. Just to be clear: it's in a cage because British law requires it to be. The khat they grow is too, but not the opium poppies – but because those were just tiny shoots when I was there, they didn't make the edit. And yes, "poison" is a bit strong, but for anyone who's convinced there are no dangers to cannabis, I refer you to Foreman, JE (2000) — although of course, that's worth comparing with his later 2014 work for balance.

des anyone know if i could still visit flower field in may 18-19 2017? as far as i know the keukenhof gardken is open unti l21 may 2017, however going to a park is not my greatest interest. would anyone have other suggestion for flower field? thank you

I live in England. Just got back from a visit. It took my breath away and made me cry. Never seen anything like it, and I will remember it for the rest of my life. Visit if you can. Amazing does not describe what I saw.
